Chinese and German | Master's degree | Languages | On Campus | 4 years | The University of Edinburgh | United Kingdom

The combination of Chinese and German is designed to develop your interest, and complex knowledge and understanding, of the two countries, including their language, history, literature, culture and social issues. A knowledge of Chinese language and culture is increasingly important as China becomes a bigger global player, economically and politically. China currently has the largest population in the world and the world's second largest economy. German is the most widely spoken language in Western Europe and is becoming increasingly important as a business language in Eastern Europe. German history, science and culture have had a huge impact across the entire world. Graduate employers recognise the importance of both languages and the need for a broad cultural education alongside language skills. Graduates will be capable of acting as bridges of understanding and conduits of knowledge between Chinese, German, and British cultures.
